Healing is what happens when Pastoral Practitioners minister, enabling people to receive restoration to health of body and mind through God's great love and mercy. This restoration of health is part of what is meant by the "abundant life" which the Lord promised.

Homeopathy

Homeopathy, also known as homeopathic medicine, is a whole medical system that was developed in Germany more than 200 years ago and has been practiced in the United States since the early 19th century. Homeopathy is used for wellness and prevention and to treat many diseases and conditions.

Dr. Farrah Agustin-Bunch of the DFAB Natural Medical Center in the Philippines has been subject to an armed government raid that effectively shut down her facility, sending hundreds of patients to the streets.

If you have been following the Health Freedom News this Spring and Summer you know that FDA launched a major attack on Homeopathy at the end of last year, by proposing a new regulatory Guidance. The Push Back from health freedom advocates to the proposal was strong enough that FDA extended the comment period [1] and may be rewriting the Guidance prior to finalizing it during the next few months.

About 5 million U.S. adults and 1 million U.S. children use homeopathy every year, and the remedies are known to be “generally safe and unlikely to cause severe adverse reactions,” according to the U.S. National Institutes of Health’s National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health.

Once again it must be said that what passes for ‘scientific’ discussion amongst homeopathic critics is almost entirely lacking in substance. Scientific statements, by definition, must be precise and testable. Unfortunately, criticisms of homeopathy rarely pass this test.

Alan Henness, who calls himself a ‘challenger of misleading health claims,’ continues to make vague assertions and accusations without having any grasp of the basic facts.

About 1,000 of the UK's vets have signed a petition calling for a ban on homeopathy being prescribed to animals.
The petition calls on the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons to stop vets from offering homeopathy on animal welfare grounds.
But the veterinary regulator says "it is difficult to envisage any justification" for a ban.
About one in seven practices offers some form of complementary therapy.
Figures suggest about 500 farmers and 40 vets are trained in homeopathy.

Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed today called for giving a level-playing field to the alternative system of medicines and integrating it effectively into the state's public health services.

By Benson: (NaturalNews) Duplicitous is probably the best descriptor for how the federal government treats "unconventional" medical treatments like homeopathy. On the one hand, authorities would have us all believe that homeopathic remedies are just inert water when it comes to their efficacy; on the other, we're told that such treatments might be "dangerous" and could cause "side effects."

By Benson: (NaturalNews) After repeatedly declaring that homeopathic remedies are just inert water and no better than a placebo, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has suddenly had a schizophrenic moment and decided that homeopathy is now imminently dangerous! That's right -- the same agency that says pharmaceutical drugs, which kill hundreds of thousands of people annually, are "safe and effective" is now declaring war on energized water.
